Specimen of a Crescent Nailtail Wallaby specimen, Onychogalea lunata, collected from Western Australia in 1929 when the species was still considered to be common.

The Museum’s founder, Richard Owen, was a world-famous palaeontologist and one of the pre-historic animals he identified is the Megatherium, the giant ground sloth. Owen’s desire to display large specimens like this dictated the scale of the museum.
